::::28th OCTOBER: key speakers and panel discussion ***FREE***

Darklight 2005 is calling all developers and innovators in digital production 
to attend its symposium, exhibition and workshop event.


This forum promises to give us the answers to the increasing litany of questions on our rights and abilities as the employers of new power found in creative common licensing, citizen journalism, podcasting, blogging, ad-hoc networks, alternative broadcasting technologies, and new markets for wireless content/culture. 

Darklight will engage internationally renowned key speakers, and host two 
panel discussions combining the collective knowledge of experts to set the 
matter straight on these issues.
